20 Hours For 20Talk | Sydney June 28

Holly is taking on the 20-hour challenge to support youth mental health and raise awareness about the importance of prevention.

How the hell is she going to be silent for 20 Hours??

For a good cause, that’s how. On the 28th June, I’m participating in the 20Hours for 20talk 🤐💫

I’ll be sitting in a warehouse in my little 2x2m square, in silence. 
For 20 hours. 
No tech, no talking. 
Just me, my thoughts and 249 other humans. 

🧠 Why? Suicide is the leading cause of death for 16-25 year olds in Australia. And I, along with many close friends and family have experienced the ups and downs of mental health in the past. 

Part of this challenge is to promote awareness, reflect and educate people around mental wellbeing and suicide prevention. 

⚡️ My goal is to raise $1000 towards 20Talk’s mission that empowers young adults by integrating essential mental health tools and skills into their lives. 

I know groceries and rent are more expensive than ever atm. But if you’re in the position to donate a few dollars to suppprt me sitting in silence for 20 hours (which we know is a challenge 😆), I would be incredibly grateful! Every little bit helps.

The Reality of Suicide Statistic

We have all been touched in some way or another by the reality of mental health. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting. 

Structurally, the statistics are (still) alarming:

  • Suicide still remains the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-44. 
  • Only 2% of mental health funding goes towards prevention (Mental Health Commission 2022)

I'm completing the 20 Hours for 20Talk to turn these statistics around. Your contribution goes towards 20Talk's relatable prevention campaigns. They are a mental health charity that makes education cool and accessible, for young people by young people.

Your generous donations go towards:

  • Every $120 puts a young person through a one day Mental Health Maintenance cours
  • Expanding 20Talk's online resources and 60,000+ social media community
  • Running large-scale interactive mental health events

By improving mental health literacy, removing harmful stigma, and encouraging professional help-seeking we are preventing people from getting people into crisis in the first place.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for donating to the cause. Hopefully this small challenge can help change someone’s life. 

If you ever need to chat, I’m always here. Love you all and thanks again!
